The X-33 was the prototype replacement for the Space Shuttle and would feature a range of cutting-edge technologies that would make much cheaper to operate and quicker to turn around with much less personal. Although 95% of the components had been made and delivered and a new flight centre had been built it was cancelled in a shock decision that would put back the reusable space program years. Was this NASA's biggest mistake of recent years or was it just too advanced for the time, in this video we look at the X-33 and the reason why it ended up being scrapped.

https://brilliant.org/CuriousDroid Over 50 years ago an engine was designed that overcame the inherent design inefficiencies of bell-shaped rocket nozzles, but despite much research in the 60's, 70's and 90's and was to power the replacement for the Space Shuttle. But 50 years on and it still yet to be flight tested. So why aren't we using Aerospike rocket engines?

People always ask me why we’re stuck with chemical rockets. Seriously, exploding a bunch of hydrogen or kerosene is the best we can do? Good news, there are other, exotic science fiction-sounding propulsion systems out there which use electromagnetic fields to accelerate atoms, allowing their spacecraft to accelerate for months at a time. I’m talking about ion engines, of course, and several spacecraft have already used these exotic thrusters to perform some of the most amazing missions in the exploration of the Solar System.

Rockets are HUGE, complicated and expensive. As a matter of fact, the rocket that took humans to the moon, the Saturn 5, was 111 meters or 363 feet tall, and had more separation events than dating teenagers. So why do rockets always split themselves into multiple parts. Isn’t that complicated and risky? Why throw so much away? I mean, there’s got to be a better way!!! Well how about if rockets were only ONE stage? How awesome would that be? Well this idea isn’t new… it’s called single stage to orbit or SSTO and it’s often considered the holy grail of rocketry. Well, today, I’m going to SMASH THAT HOLY GRAIL and explain why I think SSTO’s SUCK. In order to drill this point in we’ll teach you all about the tyranny of the rocket equation and help you understand why every orbital rocket, well, ever is multistage. Then we’ll take a stroll down SSTO history and look at some crazy designs that in some cases almost worked... And not to be a huge downer, we will take a look at some SSTO designs that MIGHT actually work, including the Skylon spaceplane that uses the awesome SABRE hybrid engine.

Reactions Engines New Test Facility, known as TF1 is located in Westcott Venture Park in Buckinghamshire UK, a location with a strong history of rocket propulsion research, having been used to test various UK rocket projects since 1946, including the Blue Streak and Black Arrow programmes. In 2016 the UK Space Agency selected Westcott as the UK’s National Space Propulsion Test Facility and the site is now home to a number of space propulsion and satellite technology companies. In May 2017 Reaction Engines held a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the construction of a new engine test facility which will enable tests of the critical subsystems along with the testing of a SABRE engine core. Since the ground breaking event great progress has been made to both the assembly building and the test site compound. On the test site compound where the rocket engine will be tested, the 5m high gabion wall to protect our neighbours from the noise is complete. On the back of the gabion wall will be a landscaped grass bank that has been constructed with 12,400 cubic meters of earth weighing 22,400 tonnes, all held together with 36,500 square meters of matting. Despite the weather causing some minor delays on the test site compound, progress is good and the area is now taking shape. The majority of the ducts have been laid around the perimeter edge, other trenches are on-going for the cable ducts to cater for the miles of cable connecting the test site compound to the test site mission control room in the assembly building. The requirements from the engineers are now being finalised to cater for complex plant layout which will determine the layout of the concrete plinths and the reinforced containment shelter that will house the engine core during testing. Reaction Engines are also pleased to announce the appointment of Air Liquide to design and supply the Cryogenic Liquids and Gases required for the engine testing. This will involve Reaction Engines and Air Liquide working together for the next 18 months to deliver a complex cryogenic and gaseous delivery system.

Article: “Next-Generation RS-25 Engines for the NASA Space Launch System” http://go.usa.gov/xQ8Jm Related Articles: http://go.usa.gov/xQ8Jv NASA STI Program: https://sti.nasa.gov NASA Technical Reports Server: https://ntrs.nasa.gov Facebook: https://www.Facebook.com/nasastiprogram Twitter: @NASA_STI Stennis Space Center has long been known as the agency’s largest rocket testing facility and they have been extremely busy with the testing of the upgraded RS-25 engines. In fact all RS-25 Engine testing happens exclusively at Stennis Space Center! If these look familiar to you, it may be due to the fact that they were used as the space shuttle main engine for the last 30 years. Compared to the 3 RS-25 engines that the space shuttle had the SLS will utilize 4 of them to produce 2 Million pounds of thrust. The thorough testing of the RS-25 plays an essential role in upholding NASA’s high standards of efficient and reliable engines.

Blue Origin successfully completed the eighth launch of its New Shepard suborbital crewed vehicle. On Sunday, the reusable rocket shot into a cloudless sky above west Texas, reaching an impressive 351,000 feet. Company founder Jeff Bezos tweeted: “That’s the altitude we’ve been targeting for operations. One step closer.” Unlike rival SpaceX—which Elon Musk intends to eventually carry customers to Mars—Bezos’s private space firm is currently focused on suborbital spaceflight: blasting folks out of the atmosphere for a weightless romp, before returning to Earth. https://www.geek.com/tech/blue-origin-successfully-completes-another-launch-of-new-shepard-rocket-1738520/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

New Shepard flew again for the eighth time on April 29, 2018, from Blue Origin’s West Texas Launch Site. Known as Mission 8 (M8), the mission featured a reflight of the vehicle flown on Mission 7. The Crew Capsule reached an apogee of 351,000 feet (66 miles, 107 kilometers) – the altitude we’ve been targeting for operations. For the second time, Blue Origin’s test dummy “Mannequin Skywalker” flew to space conducting astronaut telemetry and science studies. The flight also carried research payloads for NASA, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), and commercial customers. Learn more about the payloads: https://www.blueorigin.com/news/news/payload-customers-on-new-shepards-8th-test-flight We look forward to sharing upcoming test flights as we continue our progress toward human spaceflight.

Jeff Bezos' space flight company Blue Origin tested its New Shepard rocket for the eighth time Sunday. SpaceX and Blue Origin appear to be in an undeclared race to launch humans into space aboard one of their capsules.

The Falcon Heavy has ushered in a new era of space flight. In this new age, what missions can we now launch? Where should we explore next? Aspiring Martian Colonist Ryan MacDonald discusses your visions for the era of super heavy rockets.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, March 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of the Iridium-5 NEXT mission from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This is the fifth set of 10 satellites in a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium’s next generation global satellite constellation, Iridium® NEXT. The instantaneous launch opportunity is at 7:13 a.m. PDT or 14:13 UTC and the satellites will begin deployment about an hour after launch. A backup instantaneous launch opportunity is available on Saturday, March 31 at 7:08 a.m. PDT or 14:08 UTC. Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-5 mission previously supported the Iridium-3 mission from SLC-4E in October 2017. SpaceX will not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after launch.

What rocket has 9 engines on its first stage, is built by a privately owned aerospace company, uses the most advanced manufacturing techniques available, is one of the cheapest rides to space and has a body that’s almost entirely made out of carbon fiber? If you said SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket you’d be wrong! (its body is aluminum) Move over SpaceX, there’s a new kid on the block! Well, maybe not move over, but pull up a chair to the orbital class rocket table! That’s right, Rocket Lab has officially become the second privately owned rocket company to achieve orbit with their beautiful Electron rocket. Today we’re going to give you a deep run down on some of the exciting features about the Electron, then we’re going to compare it to similar rockets including other upcoming small sat rockets, and past small sat rockets like SpaceX’s Falcon 1. We’re even going to throw in a Falcon 9 for comparison and see which rocket takes the cake for the cheapest ride to space with a cost per kilogram comparison. Oh, and I mean it when I say cake, I got this for the winner.

On Jan. 18, 2018, Armstrong’s Subscale Research Lab crew piloted the 𝝁Cub (MicroCub) for its inaugural flight, successfully demonstrating the aircraft’s airworthiness. The MicroCub is a Bill Hempel 60-percent-scale super cub, which has been modified by Armstrong to support engineering campaigns focused on the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the National Airspace System (NAS). Specifications of the vehicle include a 21-foot wingspan, a Piccolo Autopilot guidance system and a JetCat SPT-15 Turboprop. In this 1-minute, 2-second video, NASA Armstrong highlights the initial flight of the aircraft, validating the ground handling and flight characteristics of the MicroCub-a critical phase needed to educate engineers and validate key technologies that will directly support UAS research and development.

LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND — Researchers at Switzerland's Federal Polytechnic Institute have conceptualized a new airplane to ferry cargo and passengers. Subscribe to TomoNews ►►http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-TomoNews The pod plane concept could one day allow passengers to borad at rail stations. These pods each measure 30 meters in length. After being ferried to the airport, the pod would join others under a giant 60-meter wing. This modular concept aircraft is one of several developed by Swiss researchers called Clip-Air. According to CNN, its speed and range would be around the same as most mid-sized commercial aircraft. TomoNews is your best source for real news.

We have SO MANY questions to answer about Falcon Heavy. We learned so much after the successful launch and there’s a ton to cover. Instead of me trying to answer EVERYTHING in this video, I decided we’re just going to focus on one big question first. WHY. Why the Falcon Heavy? Why does it matter? Why launch it now when it might be replaced soon by something bigger and better? And of course, the number one why, why did SpaceX launch a Tesla into space?

There are few rockets more iconic than the RS-25, also known as the Space Shuttle main engine. Even though it’s been around in some form since the 1970s, it’s been improved and upgraded several times, making it the most efficient liquid fuel rocket engine going today. And now the RS-25 is going to see a new chapter in its history, working to carry NASA’s new Space Launch System back to deep space, beyond Earth orbit.

Find out why NASA’s new deep-space rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS) is more than just big and beautiful. For the world’s most powerful rocket, it takes a lot of “guts.” Engineers have built all the giant structures that will be assembled to form the first SLS rocket, and now they are busy installing and outfitting the rocket’s insides with sensors, cables and other equipment. The rocket’s insides including its incredible flight computers and batteries will ensure SLS can do the job of sending the Orion spacecraft out beyond the Moon farther than any human-rated space vehicle as ever ventured. Learn how the SLS core stage components are being outfitted for the first SLS mission, Exploration Mission-1. Find out more at https://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/index.html

On February 13, 2012, the European Space Agency launched its brand-new Vega rocket on its maiden voyage. For its debut, the Vega rocket launched nine small satellites into Earth's orbit. It lifted off early in the morning from the Guiana Space Center in Kourou, French Guiana. Despite some bad weather that almost scrubbed the launch, flight controllers said that Vega had an "apparently perfect flight." This new rocket took almost nine years to build and cost close to a billion dollars. It measures about 100 feet tall and uses a combination of solid and liquid propellant.

They were developed more than 40 years ago and then almost forgotten but now Nuclear Rockets are set to make a comeback and possibly provide the fastest way to get around our solar system to date. Here look at their history and how they could be used in the next decade or so.

Rocket Science in 60 Seconds gives you an inside look at work being done at NASA to explore deep space like never before. In the first episode, we take a look at the thermal protection application on the launch vehicle stage adapter for the first flight of NASA's new rocket, the Space Launch System. Engineer Amy Buck takes us behind the scenes at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for a peek at how she is helping build the rocket and protect it as extreme hot and cold collide during launch!

ESA's Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATV) served the International Space Station with five launches over six years following its 2008 debut. ATVs delivered more than 31 500 kg of supplies over the course of their five missions. They boosted the Station to raise its orbit numerous times and similarly moved it out of the way of space debris. The vehicles demonstrated European mastering of automated docking, a technology that is vital for further space exploration. ATV was conceived in 1987, when ideas for an international space station to succeed Russia’s Mir complex were beginning to surface. In 1994, ESA and Russia discussed the possibility of using the vehicle for a new station. The decision to build it was taken in October 1995 and development began the following year. The ATV programme was part of a barter arrangement between ESA and its international partners through which ESA pays its share of the running costs of the International Space Station by supplying vital equipment and systems. The knowledge gained by ESA and European industry from designing, building and operating the complex ATV missions has been instrumental for ESA’s participation in NASA’s Orion spacecraft that will fly astronauts to the Moon and beyond.

SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida yesterday carrying its first payload -- a red Tesla roadster -- into orbit. Loren Grush spoke to CEO Elon Musk about the launch and what this means for the future of space travel, as well as Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye. The Falcon Heavy now holds the title for the world’s most powerful rocket, and its launch marks the first time a vehicle this massive has ever been sent up by a commercial company.

Following its first test launch, Falcon Heavy is now the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy draws upon the proven heritage and reliability of Falcon 9. Its first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.
